The 2010 United Kingdom Proof Coin Collection — a beautifully presented Royal Mint proof set capturing Britain’s circulating coinage and key commemorative themes of the year. Struck to the highest proof standard, each coin displays frosted devices and mirror‑polished fields, showcasing the Royal Mint’s craftsmanship during the late Elizabeth II era.

The set includes all circulating denominations from 1p to £1 featuring the traditional definitive designs, along with two major commemorative issues:

Commemorative Coins Included

• £2 – Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) Marking the centenary of her death, featuring the lamp and radiating light motif.
• 50p – Girlguiding UK Centenary (1910–2010) Celebrating 100 years of the Girl Guides movement.

These commemoratives sit alongside the classic definitive designs, making the 2010 proof set a popular modern release with strong thematic appeal.

This example is complete, in original Royal Mint packaging with its certificate of authenticity, ensuring full provenance and presentation quality.
